How many times must we start again
The creation of the world from beginning to end
What will it take before we learn
We gotta wake up now 'n' show some concern
What will the future hold
How many untold stories will be told
Just what will the future bring
How many species of birds will have a song to sing
Man 'n' man can't even get on
'N' man 'n' women been at war for far too long
Superior race all this black 'n' white vision
Catholic - Muslim there's to many religions
Too much hatred too much greed
Ignorant people pollute the air that we breath
We're gotta wake up now before it's much to late
Hungry people need food on their plate
People being killed for just a few pence
Can you justify that 'cause it makes no sense to me
You're growing up much to fast
The destruction of mankind - how long will it last.
VERSE 2
Perfect that's what I'm striving to be
The next best thing will do for me
I do my best you disagree
Holier - than - thou holier - than - me
Committing crimes with no remorse
As good as gold now an evil force
One word description is a dis
You lick a boy down for his bag of cheese 'n' onion crisp
And you don't even stop to think
Whatever happened to the dinosaurs could make us all extinct
I'm being judged by the clothes that I were
We gotta educate those with a grudge to bare
But I'm content to a certain extent
You're condemned for life it's too late to repent
Inna - most beauty such a terrible waste
Caught between a rock 'n' a hard place.
VERSE 3
Be judged by according to what you've done
Live this life the next is a better one
Eat the fruit from the tree of life
'Cause if you live by the sword...you'll die by the knife
How great and wonderful are your days
How right and true are your ways...
No more death, grief, crying or pain
'Cause only the good things will remain..
Heed my words cause what I'm saying is true
Treat them exactly as they treated you -
Wipe away the tears from your eyes.
Be proud, lift your head up - reach for the skies.
VERSE 4
Condemned for what you did to them
Now see bow quick they fall to worship him
There's a place in my heart that makes me understand
Prepared 'n' ready like a bride dressed to meet her husband
Treat life as a learning process
I said turn right so you took a sharp left
Wake up and we'll all sleep peacefully
The sunshines but it still seems bleak to me
You tell a lie and convince me it's the truth
I'm well mannered yet you still call me uncouth
I believe that there's got to be much more
I hope I'm ready when death comes knockin' on my door
Maybe tonight maybe as I sleep
It can drive you mad if you think to deep
But don't have a breakdown 'cause I called you a clown
You threw a punch 'n' missed I killed you with a kiss
What on earth will you do then
The hour of your death amen
'N' all the prejudice that I've sustained
I know it sounds funny but I just can't stand the pain.
Six foot below
Reap what you sow
Grim without grief
Sad without sorrow.
"Armageddon" is more of a poem composed to be a rap.
Althogh the lyrics may seem a little confusing and chaotic,
they are actually straight to the point.
It is a song that speaks about how humanity is being ignorant to
nature while being distracted by too many things.
("How many times must we start again
The creation of the world from beginning to end
What will it take before we learn
We gotta wake up now 'n' show some concern")
("Man 'n' man can't even get on
'N' man 'n' women been at war for far too long
Superior race all this black 'n' white vision
Catholic - Muslim there's to many religions
Too much hatred too much greed
Ignorant people pollute the air that we breath
We're gotta wake up now before it's much to late")
This song moreover dedicates even transcendental thoughts
by emphasizing some values such as;
self-reliance,
( "Be judged by according to what you've done" )
-one's value is demonstrated through what he/she have done through the past,
and what they got out of it.
( "Can you justify that 'cause it makes no sense to me" )
- questioning and exploting the generalized meaning of something, by oneself.
confidence,
( "Heed my words cause what I'm saying is true
Treat them exactly as they treated you -
Wipe away the tears from your eyes.
Be proud, lift your head up - reach for the skies" )
- trusting the belief within oneself, and instructs others to be proud
emphasis on the importance of nature,
( "Whatever happened to the dinosaurs could make us all extinct" )
- not necessarily nature's beauty, but illustrates the nature's power-
greater force / natural selection...
( "How many untold stories will be told
Just what will the future bring
How many species of birds will have a song to sing" )
- how the time is measured by the nature; birds singing.
and even some apspects of nonconformity.
( "I'm being judged by the clothes that I were
We gotta educate those with a grudge to bare" )
- stereotypical ideas that lead to judging people
comes within the boudaries of society.
We have to educate the others with the true natural meanings.)
